Here is a really great, and simple recipe for chicken. It’s originally a Russian\/Georgian\/Turkish dish that I have modified a bit to be lower fat and calories. Try it over some delicious risotto or a flavored rice-dish. Or it’s great with other vegetables like squash or cooked carrots, and mashed potatoes.
Dr. Norris J. Chumley’s Plum Chicken<\/u><\/b><\/p>\n
Serves 4<\/p>\n
4 boneless chicken breasts (or any other part you like: thighs, drumsticks, etc.)
1 shallot
\u00be tablespoon olive oil
5-6 purple plums (fresh, or dried) pitted and chopped into slivers<\/p>\n
sauce:
3 tablespoons sugar-free\/fruit only plum preserves
1 tablespoon rice or cider vinegar
dash or two of hot sauce<\/p>\n
Add olive oil to a medium saut\u00e9 pan, medium heat, add the chopped shallots and saut\u00e9 until lightly brown and a bit transparent. Add chicken and a few sprinkles of water and cover. In the meantime, in a separate small bowl combine the plum preserves, vinegar and hot sauce. Add the chopped plums and stir. Save for the last moment of cooking.<\/p>\n
Once the chicken is almost done (the final temperature should be 165F degrees or more total), add the sauce mixture and cook for 5-8 minutes more, to soften the plums and infuse the chicken with the delicious sauce. Cover again.<\/p>\n
Check to see that the chicken has reached a safe temperature, or cut a think part with a knife and fork, and see if the inside is white, with no pink raw meat remaining. Let the whole pan rest, covered, for 5 minutes or so.<\/p>\n
